MSOCS,

You are quite right,but the trouble with people like the SNP leadership, as it generally goes, is they'd argue that all assets north of the border, whatever the imbalance, are rightfully their allotted portion of HM Forces. Strategy in deployment of HM Forces to defend all UK interests seems to be too complicated beyond the one for you one and one for you argument. Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson have already tried to make the case that Scotland is deprived of a sufficient naval force to guard its shores because no Frigates and Destroyers
are either based in Scotland or are to be seen patrolling from the shore regularly.
